The sale is being conducted in two stages. First, the pre-sale began on the 15th, followed by the general sale on the 24th.
Initial inventory started with 106,453 NFTs, and by the morning of the 27th, over 73,000 NFTs had been purchased by 42,470 different addresses. The sales unit price of OF1 NFT was set at 2787 yen ($19.82) each. This comes from the year the popular sneaker Air Force 1 was first released.
Nike hailed the release of its new (NFT) virtual sneaker, the OF1, as a success, but the release of .SWOOSH’s first NFT, the OF1, repeatedly caused technical problems, causing some users The result was confusing.
“An unexpected error halted the minting (NFT issuance) process, which prevented additional purchases,” the .SWOOSH team tweeted on May 24, the first day of general sales. Perhaps because of that, more than a third of OF1 NFTs are still available for sale.
The first OF1 sale was originally scheduled for May 8th, but on May 7th, .SWOOSH announced that it would be postponed for a few days to improve the user experience. When the pre-sale began on May 15, the site went down frequently and the NFT issuance process was unstable for several hours.
On May 16, Nike extended its presale and postponed the general sale, citing technical issues. “The early access sale has been extended to the end of May 17th, giving us plenty of time to participate,” the team announced on Twitter.
Apologies for any inconvenience! Are you seeing the items delivered to your collection now? If not, please let us know the error you’re seeing via DM.

As a result, the general sale started on May 24th, but the site experienced processing delays again. Some users complained that they only received two boxes of OF1 NFTs after purchasing three. In response, .SWOOSH explained that it was hit by an “unexpected error that delayed the issuance process.”
